Muck

Thanks for the measured comments at RFA. I did not want to muck up that RFA oppose thread with more comments. I agree with you about edit quality or significant edits. Sadly nobody can get past the edit count component of my oppose to read the more significant concern. Which is clover has zero need for the tools. SFR said in their support - give the woman a chainsaw and she'll find some trees Imagine if I applied for page mover with zero page move experience and I say give me the page mover perm and I will find pages to move. I do not ivote to be a contrarian, I ivote based on what I think is best for the project's governance. Sometimes I am in the minority or standing alone. Lightburst (talk) 22:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@Lightburst There is no shame being in the minority or standing alone, and I do find merit in your position that she by by her own admission in Q1 does not have an overwhelming need for the tools. However, judging by her relatively prolific new page patrol log and semi-active editing over on xtools, and no recent incidents that demonstrate significant behavioral issues, there is no reason for me to believe that granting the tools will cause any major problems. I also saw that she was able to create an article from scratch and bring it to GA, which is enough content work to make me believe that she will not punish or bite any content creators. But of course you are entitled to your opinion, and I am appreciative how you think of content creators first when !voting. It seems like some other !voters treat content creation as an afterthought rather than a trait of paramount importance. The Night Watch (talk) 22:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I can change the vote as well if I discover that I am wrong. I saw that they were a content creator and that is admirable, but I thought they should demonstrate a need. FYI: they revealed their age here so they will be an admin for roughly the next 8 decades. Lightburst (talk) 22:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Andrea Expert (08:13, 17 December 2023)

Hello, The Night Watch! I have created a new article about the university. Translated from German. The original is here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergy_University . I tried to send it for verification from the sandbox, but it doesn't work. Writes: "An error occurred (ratelimited: You've exceeded your rate limit. Please wait some time and try again.). Please try again or refer to the help desk." Can you help me? Why is this message coming out? What speed should I follow?) What should I do so that such a message no longer appears and I can make edits or create new articles? I will be very grateful for your help! --Andrea Expert (talk) 08:13, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Andrea Expert! I'm not quite so sure about why this happened. Maybe the teahouse would know? I've never had a problem with rate limits, so you may wish to ask the users at the teahouse or help desk about what happened. Or you could try again to see if it will work now.

Hogwarts Legacy Peer review

Hey @The Night Watch, are you planning on finalizing the peer review? I have time after the Christmas holidays, so basically the week before New Year, and wanted to finish the remaining points and anything else you might find. I do not think anyone else will join.

Hi @Edwin Lubinda! Publishing an article on Wikipedia is a bit tricky for a new user such as yourself, and I recommend trying to learn some of the rules before working on making your page.

Video game genre-related question

Hello. Sorry for this super random message. I have a quick question about a video game (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King). The coverage on the game goes back and forth between calling it a platformer and an action game. I would personally call it a platformer. I find it difficult to call something an action game if a majority of the actual combat could be skipped. That is just my opinion though of course.

I was not sure how to best approach this situation as I have little experience working with video game articles. I went with calling it an action platformer after I saw that redirect, I put in a note about how the coverage on the game's genre varied. Do you think that is the course of action? If not, what would you suggestion? This is likely just a case of me way over-thinking it.

Sorry again for this completely out of left field question, but I just saw your FAC for Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment , which inspired me to reach out and ask since that is also a platformer. It has been something in the back of my mind since I put it in the article. Admittedly, I should have either reached out to editors experienced with video game articles or posted on WikiProject Video games's talk page before nominating the article for a FAC. I hope you are having a good day/night so far. Aoba47 (talk) 00:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

@Aoba47 Hi there. Since it seems that most of the sources either call it a platform game or an action game, I think it would be totally fine to call it an "action-platformer" as a hybrid genre. Some other games use this type of hybrid approach like Dead Cells being called a roguelike-metroidvania. And I would keep the note on the varied genre so that readers can understand the varied labels given to this game. I think you approached the genre just fine and totally didn't overthink it! The Night Watch (talk) 01:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the response. I appreciate the confirmation that I made the right call. I wanted to double-check as this is outside of my usual area of expertise. Aoba47 (talk) 03:12, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

John Cusack

I added a direct quoted tweet (X message) from John Cusack that illustrates his level of anti-Jew discourse. Why is that "disruptive". Mr. Cusack has been calling Jews "ghouls" on X and has even been endorsing "blood libel" messages accusing Israeli people of stealing skin and organs from prisoners. He is widely being called out as antisemitic on social media by hundreds if not thousands of people. Why is it disruptive to include that controversy on the page, while his previous antisemitic tweet is included, as is his commentary on the Hamas-Israeli war? John Cusack has over a million followers on X and is highly influential. Why are his anti-Jew posts considered irrelevant? Psycholing (talk) 09:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I would like to nominate The Night Watch for Editor of the Week for their excellent mainspace and maintenance work. The Night Watch is a member of WikiProject Video Games, and some of their best works include Kingdom Two Crowns, Five Nights at Freddy's (video game) and The Longing.

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Maliner (talk) 17:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

• 2 years, >10k edits, frequent NPP reviewer with a CSD log full of red links, good contributions to noticeboards, helps out with page moves, welcoming to newcomers even when they're difficult (e.g. the thread below), and you write good content. You're already doing all the work of an admin, so any idea when are you going to ask for the tools to do it all faster ;) — Wug·a·po·des 20:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Biggest Roo (01:43, 30 January 2024)

I want to create an article about my religion Roo. I am the founder and creator of it and have suffered socially ever since its creation in 2023. Many people have been misrepresenting me, and I would like to have at least one wikipedia article that is written and edited by me and only me on the subject of my religion. --Biggest Roo (talk) 01:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Biggest Roo. We can only have an article on your religion if there have been good, independent sources reporting on it such as reputable newspapers or books. Simply because your religion exists and that you founded it does not mean that it qualifies for an article. Without good sources, your article would most likely be deleted and I would advise against creating material on your religion unless other people have reported on it. The Night Watch (talk) 01:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

If you don't want me here, I'm out I spoke in honest good faith. Biggest Roo (talk) 01:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Of course I want you here @Biggest Roo! The hard part is that Wikipedia can't include content unless it has been published in the aforementioned good sources. Since we are an encyclopedia, we try to keep our created material up to a verifiable standard which means that some things cannot be reported on unless they are adequately covered. Perhaps instead of trying to create an article about your religion, you could find an already existing article to add information on. What subjects interest you? The Night Watch (talk) 02:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You're just asking me to host my religion on my own site. Please stop talking down to me. Biggest Roo (talk) 02:05, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You are free to contribute where you see fit, bit If you intend to use Wikipedia as a web host, that is forbidden. The Night Watch (talk) 02:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Its a free hosting site for articles. You shouldn't be a mentor. Biggest Roo (talk) 02:08, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia first and foremost that happens to contain articles on subjects that editors have determined to be notable; it is not a free web hosting service. There are other hosting services online should you wish to represent your religion, but unless there are reliable sources reporting on it, then Wikipedia cannot have an article on the subject The Night Watch (talk) 02:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You're lucky you're speaking to me. Your only association to notability. Don't lose these messages ✌️ Biggest Roo (talk) 02:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

• Sorry about all the stress. I doubt it's much comfort, but fwiw more than a few admins have had to endure a brutal RFA. By time they closed mine, I needed a blood transfusion. Somebody, I no longer remember who, told me that rough RfA makes better admins. That sounded a little too similar to "poverty builds character" for my taste. Anyways, stand tall. For good or ill it will be over soon enough. If you find yourself in need of a few words of inspiration, see this. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Jumping into this thread to add another "hang in there". I'm dismayed to see that someone suggested - almost demanded, honestly - that you withdraw. If you decide you want to end it early, I hope it isn't because of comments like that. You've got 100+ people standing for you. -- asilvering (talk) 18:20, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Advice

You seem conflicted on how to respond to the situation at your RFA. Just note that any future attempts by you to rectify the situation will be used against you no matter how good it is. I would advise against commenting about the apology until the RFA is over. Scorpions1325 (talk) 22:54, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

I think you got it. I'm proud of you. Scorpions1325 (talk) 19:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Resilient Barnstar

This RfA process is broken. Each individual oppose/support is reasonable on their own, but the collective pile-on effect is not ideal and scales this proportion, including your need to expand on your apology. The vast majority of editors recognize your qualification for adminship. The opposers' rationales are thoughtful, and I am confident you will take their feedback. Sadly it is also necessary to say this, but I would avoid engaging with this post or any other comments about the topic, but wanted you to at least acknowledge the stress you're going through, and encourage you to stay resilient and stick with this.

The best way to deal with opposes (in the wake of what to me seemed like a puzzling pile-on over a single fairly minor incident) is to take a bit of time away to get yourself back into a better state of mind, and then treat them as feedback, which is always a gift even when it smarts.

Shadows over Loathing Music Source Reliablility

Hi, I noticed you removed the Music section from the Shadows over Loathing article. I understand that Reddit may not be reliable, but It's not like it's some redditor saying "oh earth flat lol", it's stating how they learned that there is dynamic music. I would really like to keep the section, but I understand one guy on Reddit talking about this isn't reliable (although why would someone lie about something like that?) anyways, if we could find video footage of the game itself of dynamic music in place, then would that suffice as a source? MarinaTheRanger (talk) 14:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi there @MarinaTheRanger. There is wide consensus among users that Reddit should not be used as a source at all since it is a user-generated website with no oversight. Reliable sources are typically newspapers, websites with a known history of editorial standards, or peer-reviewed research papers. If the game itself talks about its own dynamic music, then you could use it as a limited source about itself and use other sources to support a music section if those sources do talk about the dynamic music as well. However, if the game has dynamic music but it itself does not talk about this music, then any sourcing to the game saying it has dynamic music would constitute original research. The Night Watch (talk) 14:14, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, @The Night Watch. There doesn't seem to be any sources about its dynamic music I could find (besides the Reddit page and an rpgfan.com article that barely mentions it in passing), so we'll have to put the dynamic music part on hold. I myself have played the game myself 4 times over (twice with the Jazz Agent and once as the Pig Skinner and Cheese Wizard) and have noticed the dynamic music, so I thought it might be useful to put in as another feature the game has, but without a reliable source it's nothing. Thanks again, and have a great day. MarinaTheRanger (talk) 15:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Please don't semi-protect the articles targeted by Adshead. Use pending. When the articles are protected, he expands to new articles which aren't necessarily watched. -- ferret (talk) 16:24, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks ferret, I'll keep that in mind. The Night Watch (talk) 17:03, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question from Bookworm8142 (01:59, 3 March 2024)

Hello! I recently edited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/365.bank,_a._s. and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysochus_cobaltinus I would just like to get some additional feedback/advice as well as some tips on how to improve.

These were my first edits ever to Wikipedia, and although they were modest, I'm actually kinda proud :D. However, because they were my first edits, I will gladly accept any help you can give me.

Thanks! --Bookworm8142 (talk) 01:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

House of Ashes FAC

Hey, just curious if you think you'll be able to finish your review on the House of Ashes FAC. I think the process is winding down as I'm up to 3 supports (4 if the struck oppose counts as a support) and I think you're the only current reviewer that hasn't left a support or oppose. No rush, just checking because there was already one reviewer that dropped out mid comments. -- ZooBlazer 02:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@ZooBlazer So sorry for the long delay. I am ver busy right now off-wiki, so I don't think I will be able to give a timely response on Reception. I will support based on the prose of the rest of the article though. The Knight Watch (talk) 03:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
